Patent CA-2443036-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MAYER YARON
IPC: G06F16/9532
Filed: 2003-09-14
Abstract: Google has recently made available at http://news.google.com an automat ed "newspaper", which searches continuously about 4,500 news sources, and lets users view automatically generated headlines in a few general areas or lets users search for news by keywords. The automatic determination of which news items or news stories are most important is done by 3 main criteria: In how many sources the news item appeared, how important are the news sources in which it appeared, and how close it is to the top in each of these news sources. However, many problems still remain, such as for example: a. The choice of a single main news source and a single image for each item seems arbitrary to the user and limits the user. b. If the use r clicks on the "related items" link for that item the user always gets a linear list of typically hundreds or even more than a thousand links to related news items, sorted either by relevance or by time, however, the new list is now without any images and without any clustering, so that many times news stories that are about the same even t or even identical, may appear at different positions in the list of related links, a nd various other news items may appear between them and are typically also dispersed in various places. This makes it vary hard for the user to take advantage efficiently o f the list of related items. The present invention solves the above problem by creating recursive clustering, so that preferably at any level in the tree the user can preferably either choose a specific news item from the cluster or from the shown sub-clusters or continue in the tree. Another improvement is that searching the Meta News by keywords can generate an automatic newspaper in a way similar to the origina l automatically generated newspaper. Many additional improvements to the conce pt of automated newspapers and/or news MetaSearch are also shown. Other improvemen ts are suggested for improved shareware MetaSearch and for improved Web pages search.

Title: Invasion complex and methods of targeting
Inventor: ASHKAR SAMY
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2002-07-18
Abstract: Therapeutics have been identified and developed with are targeted to inhibiting metastasis. These are based on the discovery of an invasion compl ex which confers the ability of cells, for example tumor cells, to translocate across extracellular matrix barriers, as well as the identification of novel peptides that interact with the invasion complex and regulate it's activity. Whole or partials complexes, or individual molecules of the invasion complex are used to screen for proteins or compounds that interact with the invasion complex. Methods of screening for interacting proteins such as osteopontin, sophin B (SEQ ID NO:1), or compounds are well known in the art, some of whic h are described below. Once interacting proteins have been identified, they ar e screened for inhibition, enhancement, or reduction of complex activity. The presence of proteins of the invasion complex on or within cells is indicativ e of particular diseases or disorders, for example, those characterized by a tumor cell or activated macrophage. Elevated levels of proteins that interac t with the invasion complex, such as osteopontin, are also indicative of cance r, and in particular, metastatic cancer. Diagnostic methods, described below, will assist in the identification of subject having, or at risk of developin g a disorder associated with aberrant expression of any of the identified proteins that form the invasion complex. Because this invasion complex confe rs the ability to translocate across matrix barriers, peptides that bind to the complex play a role in regulating metastasis and/or organ specific homing of cancer cells.

Title: Circuit breaker inducing mechanism for breaking tack weld
Inventor: LOCKHART JEFFREY WAYNE
IPC: H01H51/22
Filed: 2004-04-02
Abstract: A circuit breaker includes a housing having an elongated pivot opening, a movable arm, a fixed contact and a movable contact mounted on the arm. The contacts and the arm cooperate to provide closed, pivot and open states. The pivot opening mounts a pivot end of the arm for pivotal and longitudinal movement. A solenoid includes a plunger coupled to the arm. The plunger moves between deactuating and actuating positions to provide the open and closed states, respectively. The plunger has a pivot position between the deactuating and actuating positions. The pivot end moves to a first longitudinal position in the pivot and open states, and moves to a second longitudinal position in the closed state. When the contacts are welded closed, the solenoid provides insufficient force to move the plunger to the deactuating position until after the pivot end moves at least substantially toward the first longitudinal position.

Abstract: On agricultural implements that utilize tubes containing pressurized air to deliver granules from the granular holding tank to the soil, the device is a vented chamber through which seeds or fertilizer pass on the way from the implements seed or fertilizer holding tank to the device that places the granules in the soil. This vented chamber is generally of a larger diameter than the tube conveying the granules. A deflector in the interior of the chamber diffuses the airflow allowing most of the air pressure to escape through the vents. Releasing the air pressure allows the seeds to fall by gravity through the device to the soil, thus reducing seed bounce.
